The Blame Game - Reviewing all of Jonathan Stewart's runs

[Jeremy Igo]

I have seen a lot of talk about Jonathan Stewart being washed up. Well, let us take a close look and see if that is indeed the case. 

 

Welcome to..... 

THE BLAME GAME

I will present for you GIFs of every Jonathan Stewart run from Thursday night. You tell me who is to blame for the lack of production. 

(Please DO NOT quote this post. Just give me the number of the play and who is to blame and why)

1. 

My take: Just good defense here. Dickson took the outside man instead of the inside. Not that it would have mattered. 

2. 

My take: Larsen was the weakest link on the OL here. Stew had a sizeable hole to his left, would have been nice to cut it that direction immediately.

3. 

My take: Half the team is blocking for a screen pass. WTF?

4. 

My take: Matt Kalil winds up on his knees. Probably not a good thing. 

5. 

My take: Once again, Kalil ignores the outside man. We saw this against the Saints. Could be Dickson's fault, notice he looks left like whoops. 

6. 

My take: Turner can't get to the LB fast enough. Kalil pulled down by his jersey. Not that it mattered, defense was swarming knowing it was a run. 

7. 

My take: Manhertz completely whiffs, forcing Stew to run left. 

8. 

My take: Larsen can't keep 59 from disrupting. Just good fast defense. Not a wise play call running Stewart out wide. That should be CAP or CMC. 

 

Remember, DO NOT QUOTE THIS POST. It takes far too long for the GIFs to load on mobile.

I only see one run here where Stew could have done something better.

My God these are ugly

Perhaps simplify the run blocking and add a lead fullback. Also find the best blocking TE you can find in the draft or FA.

BIN-FUGGIN-GO

The line clearly is confused about what they should be doing. 

 

SIMPLIFY!!!!!

 

I called for this weeks ago.

Nice post. "Stew is shot"

Even there Jenkins was there to fill the hole

The Eagles are simply run-stuffing monsters.

To me, it seems there are too many moving pieces to these blocking schemes. What happened to putting a hat on a man and moving him off the line? Is out OL really that piss poor that they can't win one on one matchups and move guys 1-2 yards off the LOS??

And, if so, why are we using an old, slow, power style RB trying to force his way forward against defensive fronts who consistently knock our line backwards, on their asses, or just whiff right past them to hit Stewart.

Put CMC and Samuel in the backfield, run the read option with Cam and those 2, and ADAPT to the personnel.

Every single one of those run plays are garbage.   Terrible play designs that had no chance of succeeding, none of them.  You know why?  Predictable.

They man handled or OL. Those aren't overly complex runs. Also appears those runs were being stopped almost completely by the front 7.  I think there was 1 play were a safety came in and helped on a tackle already being made.

 

Yes, a FB please!

Execution. It's not that it's predictable you must be challenged.

It's no secret we want to ground and pound, when we are good, teams know we're going to run the ball and we still do it effectively.

I don't even see that cutting left immidiately on #2 would have helped. The linebacker wasn't in the hole because he was reading Stewart. He wasn't engaged in a block, so he was following where Stewart was running. Think he and Jenkins would have closed the hole immediately.

There really isn’t supposed to be anything complicated here. Stuff any o-line should be expected to make.

Yet comically our o-line fails.
